If this contains a virtual device inside the card, we can "hack" it and add Bitcoin, piggy backing on a Mastercard.
If the manufacturing fuse is blown then the software becomes read-only. It cannot then be reprogrammed.

There already are credit card sized devices with LCD and buttons.

What do you mean "Virtual"?
Probably confused virtual with digital.

There is always a way... and it usually something a 12 yr old can figure out.

Oh yeah, it'll get hacked all right ... hacked to hell and back, you can take that to the bank.

Now this is from my point of view a step in the right direction. If this contains a virtual device inside the card, we can "hack" it and add Bitcoin, piggy backing on a Mastercard.
That is funny, probably doable but exactly what they don't want to have happen, the hacking part anyways.
